Anyone else mass-renaming env variables and instantly regretting it? (lemmy.world)

Spent an hour today renaming env vars across three services to make them "consistent." Broke staging in the process because one service cached the old values. Should've just left the mess alone — it worked fine before I touched it.

This is one of those things that break two golden rules. Minimal change, or consistency? The only further variable a most senior person considers is the brittleness of the environment and deployment process.
